Abstract :
Robot simulation and off-line programming seem likely to have an increasingly important role in the evolution of CIM facilities. The authors consider the capabilities and shortcomings of the current generation of off-line programming and graphical simulation systems. Methods of overcoming problems associated with calibration, lack of `user friendliness´ and integration within manufacturing systems are discussed through reference to research studies at Loughborough University
